This Bravo feature presents an intimate portrait of Steve Priest, bassist and vocalist of Sweet, as part of the magazine’s ongoing series Die Vier von Sweet (“The Four from Sweet”). The article explores Priest’s personality, home life near London, and his views on equality, family, and fame.

The left page features a full‑colour portrait of Priest outdoors among flowering plants, wearing a navy shirt decorated with red‑white‑blue motifs. The right page contains the interview text in German, accompanied by three black‑and‑white photographs showing Priest with his children, near his car, and at home.

The tone of the article is warm and personal, portraying Priest as humorous, grounded, and family‑oriented — a contrast to his flamboyant stage persona. The piece concludes with a teaser for the next instalment in the series: Brian Connolly.
